Work-linked employment visa for skilled professionals in Thailand, initially valid 90 days and extendable to 1 year with a work permit.
The Non-Immigrant B visa is Thailand's primary path for skilled professionals seeking employment, established under the 1979 Immigration Act to attract foreign investment and expertise. Designed for those with formal job offers from Thai-registered companies, it requires a local employer relationship across diverse fields including management, engineering, and specialized education.
Initial 90-day stay extendable to 1 year from first entry. Fees: 2,000 THB (single-entry, 3-month) or 5,000 THB (multiple-entry, 1-year validity); processing 14–28 days. Renewable with PR pathway. Mandatory separate Work Permit from the Ministry of Labour for legal employment. Spouses cannot work on dependent visas.
This visa is ideal for skilled professionals or executives relocating to Thailand for documented employment seeking long-term work residency.
